Great. I’ll put together a deeply technical report on the latest AI-based techniques for automating research proposal writing and reviewing—focusing mainly on STEM fields, but also touching on others where relevant. I’ll include both commercial and academic tools, explore challenges and solutions, and highlight promising research directions aimed at fully autonomous proposal generation. I’ll also provide links to GitHub repositories and demos where available.
I’ll let you know as soon as the report is ready for your review.
Writing a competitive research proposal is a critical yet time-consuming task for scientists. In STEM fields (and increasingly in others), researchers are turning to AI-based tools to streamline everything from brainstorming ideas to polishing final drafts. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have sparked a proliferation of systems that can generate text, search litera
